adidas launches another tonal update of the YEEZY 450 sneaker model for the season with a Stone Teal colorway to join its roster. The shoes continue with the stealthy design language, following the Dark Slate and Utility Black options previously.
Stone Teal starts off with a Primeknit material over the upper in the stone tint as the rest of the shoe is detailed with a slightly lighter iteration of the tone for a subtle contrast. The heel is marked with a subtle touch of teal at a closer look. Additional details include the signature spiky sole unit foundation and the sock-like collars to round out the entire look -- fans are to expect the launch sometime in October.
